Failing Is Not An Option

 

by Shawn Lim
Too often, we are afraid to take actions towards our goals, even though we know by taking massive actions it will lead us to what we wanted. Procrastination is the number one killer in our road to success. Most of us will stop trying after we found out that what we’ve been doing is not working. So is it that what we do is not working? Or is it that we are just afraid of failing again and we procrastinate?

Now, listen to this story. A long time ago, scientists carried out an experiment on a barracuda (some kind of fish). They put the barracuda in a huge aquarium, and start to feed it with small fish. Of course, once the barracuda sees small fish, it will swim to them and swallow the small fish in one gulp. And one day, the scientists put a glass partition inside the aquarium, which separate the small fish and the barracuda. Again, once the scientists put in small fish, but this time, it is in the opposite portion of the aquarium which the barracuda cannot reach. Now, the barracuda will still swim to its food, but it will hit the glass partition. The barracuda was puzzled in the first moment, but it kept trying on.

The barracuda kept on trying and trying, but it kept on failing and hitting the glass partition. Then until one day, it stopped trying. And the scientist removed the glass partition, the small fish were released and swim all across the aquarium. The amazing thing happened here is that the barracuda did not try to go for the fish. It has been conditioned in such a way that it is impossible to reach those small fish. In the end, the barracuda died of hunger, but it was actually surrounded by lot of food.

It is exactly just like a barracuda; many of us will stop trying once we’ve experience failure in the past. It does not mean that if we fail in the past, we are going to fail again in the future. However, many of us conditioned ourselves just like the barracuda. Once we failed to make money online, we will think that making money online is just not our way. In fact, the reason that we fail is because we did not use the right strategy. Einstein defines crazy as “doing the same thing over and over again but hope to achieve different results”. If you fail, it is because what you’re doing is inaccurate, your strategy is not correct.

So stop being dragged down by your phobia of losing and failing again. The history does not equal the future. It does not mean that you are going to fail all the time, a winner will never quit and a quitter will never win. If you fall down today, it does not matter, just stand up and go for it again. Just like Thomas Edison, he failed more than 10,000 times before he finally successfully invented the light bulb. Did you think that without all the failures, he is going to invent the light bulb? Not at all, it is the failure that leads him the right way to invent the light bulb.

So you see, failure does not mean that you are losing. In fact, the more you fail, the nearer you are to success. That is why successful people fail more than ordinary people. The difference between ordinary people and successful people are that how they respond to failure. Successful people treat failure as feedback, what about you?
